Childhood Skincare: What Is Normal, and What Warrants a Doctor Visit
Skincare News explains the differences between harmless and potentially dangerous childhood skin care issues.
Sacramento, CA (PRWEB) April 25, 2007
Being a parent is full of challenges. Keeping your child healthy and free from harm is by far the biggest of these hurdles. That is what Skincare-New's latest article, "Childhood Itches, Bumps, and Birthmarks Part One," is all about (http://www. skincare-news. com/articles. php? ArtID=2980 (http://www. skincare-news. com/articles. php? ArtID=2980)).
According to the article, most pigmentations found on a baby's skin at birth are considered to be perfectly safe and free of concern.
Salmon patches are almost always worry-free. Also known as "angel kisses" and "stork bites", pet names given due to the fact that salmon patches are often found on newborn babies, these may fade with time or remain throughout adulthood. Rarely do they require treatment.
However, occasionally there are some skin care issues that deserve some further investigation: If your baby has a birthmark that is red, pink, or bluish, or is raised up on the skin, these marks should be brought to your dermatologist or pediatrician's attention and monitored. These markings are known as vascular birthmarks. The blood vessels are very close to the skin in these instances and at times they can cause health issues.
It is also important to understand the anatomy of your child's birthmarks and other skin abnormalities, so you understand what the treatment for such might be A specific type of birthmark called Hemangioma is a prime example of this:
While hemangiomas are usually harmless, it is important that these are still monitored. If this vascular birthmark begins to bleed or change shape/color significantly, take your child to a doctor who specializes in pediatric skin conditions as soon as possible.
According to the Skincare News Team's sources, prevention and attention to detail is vital to save your child from potentially dangerous skin conditions.
